The amazing Honey Bee can fly up to 15 miles per hour traveling up to six miles. Their buzz sound is created by it's wings stroking so fast, about 200 beats per second.
A worker bee will produce only about 1/12 teaspoon of honey during it's lifetime visiting between 50 and 100 flowers during each collection trip.
The antioxidant "pinocembrin" is associated with improved brain functioning. Interestingly, Honey is the ONLY food that contains "pinocembrin". Honey also contains all of the subtances, enzymes, minerals, water and vitamins necessary to sustain life. It is only food that does.
That is amazing facts and so wonderful to know. Thanks so much for sharing. Bees are indeed very hard workers.
